Originally Posted By officerminnie Yes, I mail out cards, always with a photo of the kids included. It's funny how people look forward to that photo, even those who see my kids throughout the year. Of course, those who live out of state and don't see us often like to watch them grow up from afar. My list has dwindled to about 35 cards, and about half of those are out-of- towners.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 Some years I do, some years I don't. Just depends on my schedule. I made out all my cards last night, 78. We probably get as many in return. Big family, lots of friends.

It's one of my favorite holiday traditions. I love getting all the cards in the mail, especially with pictures of families and kids.

Originally Posted By Goofyernmost I did about 28, most of them close family. I keep a checklist of those I sent out, if I get one from them they are on my list for next year, if not, oh, well!
Originally Posted By LPFan22 I send some out every year to family and close friends. Since LP the list has grown. We didn't receive many cards the last couple of years and I'm so busy this year that I don't plan on sending as many out this time around.
Originally Posted By LuLu Ooh, glad I clicked here, I wanted to ask this too! I only send cards to those I don't (or rarely) see thru the year. Since having a daughter, our card always features a photo of the family (now just 2 of us). This year is the FIRST time I've included a printed note (aka Christmas newsletter). It's extremely brief tho. I just don't have time to hand write notes this year, and my penmanship has gotten deplorable, since I rarely write anything but my signature The most I've sent has probably been about 60-70. WAY down this year, probably 25 when I finalze my list. The only cards I've gotten thus far are from companies I support or do business with! That's just sad. But I still think it's important for me to make this small effort to stay in touch with folks once a year.
Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS We sent out about 10-12. I know it's not much, but our family count is small. Not too many friends, I'm afraid. We always try to include an annual "At DL for Christmas" photo of piratebrittany and me.
Originally Posted By goodgirl I haven't done cards in a few years. Just not enough time. Maybe next year. I have received about a dozen so far and many are from LPers!
Originally Posted By LVBelle I sent out about 50 this year. I did them very early, around Thanksgiving because I included a moving announcement in it and I wanted people to get mine first so they would have the new address. The announcement was SO cute, I made it myself with photo editing software and used the cute picture of Jake in the box! I also did a newsletter this year as well!
